There truly is a yearly renewal in education. Students, parents, and staff members are all given fresh opportunities to change and im-prove, and to develop new relationships. There are new groups of stu-dents and teachers, new staff assignments, new activities, and new supplies and equipment. Even the buildings and grounds are in a state of newness; ready for the burst of energy about to rush through the front doors.

Summer was a great time to relax and to recharge those academic batteries for the new year, and now everyone is ready to “get going” again. Administrators, teachers, and other members of the teaching team have been involved in staff development during the summer. Many have attended university classes, seminars, and district-wide workshops to improve their job skills.

Parents are key players on the educational team, and each year they, too, are filled with new hopes and expectations. They know it is up to them to send their children to school each day with adequate rest, good nutrition, encouragement, and support. At home, parents are challenged to provide a quiet place for studying, to set aside home-work time, and to maintain an attitude that says, “Your education is important.”

All members of the educational community, whether they are students, administrators, teachers, or parents, should seize the oppor-tunities that have been given them to make this new school year the best ever.

Have a great year! In Education,

David Warvel

Welcome Back to School Letter from RESA 4 Executive Director

Administrators Leadership Institute

Kristina Frame, RESA 4’s School Improvement Specialist, has

recently accepted the position of principal at Summersville Middle School. Also, Travis Windon has

recently resigned as our Computer Repair

Technician to accept a position with West Virginia Department

of Education, Office of Technology.

We will miss you. Best wishes in your new jobs!

On August 1, 2014, educational leaders attended the RESA 4 Administra-

tors Leadership Institute. The institute was held at the Summersville Arena and Con-vention Center. Session topics included Recent Legislation and Legal Developments

Affecting Public Education, presented by attorney Rebecca Tinder, Bowles, Rice, McDavid, Graff, Love & Associates. Also, presented was information on recent deci-sions from the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals and from the West Virginia

Public Employees Grievance Board.

The afternoon presenter, Phil Sorentino, a humor consultant, developed a program to work smart, have fun, and create loyalty for our principals. Phil’s value as a profitable and enjoyable “conoach” which means part coach, and part consult-

ant, is the same value as a teacher, parent, or community member, and it’s our value at whatever we do for our schools. Our core competency is we make great

people. Our greatest asset is our desire to learn from each other. Phil gave great advice to our principals: have a sense of humor, unconditional love, sense of community, and regular exercise. We worked on developing a sense of community

within our schools and try to understand the differences of one another. Phil’s main bullet points are to have action steps, living longer and happier, high performance

humor, self–motivation, enjoy a servant’s attitude, and then do a loyalty inventory. This self-reflection piece was great for our principals so they, in turn, could use this with their staff. The staff then can use this information to help with our students’

needs. Is my school a place where kids want to come? We need to model the behav-ior for our students if we would like to see the desired results.

1. Know the people you would help – seek to understand their strengths and areas of

improvement.

2. Practice good human relations – criticize only constructively with a solution and in pri-

vate.

3. Learn how to use the basic self-motivators – people naturally want to achieve, be

recognized, participate and grow.

4. Master the 5 basic skills for managing people – accentuate the positive, provide recog-

nition, be flexible, delegate responsibility, and help people set lifelines.

A quote from Phil. "What we really teach is the challenge, the power, and yes, if you want it

to be, the fun of free will. Wherever you are in life, someone has had it worse and made it,

and someone has had it better and blown it."

Throughout the month of July, several RESA 4 teachers participated in the Support for Personalized Instruction (SPI).

The WVDE Office of Special Programs in partnership with RESA based staff developed Support for Personalized Instruction (SPI) as a sub-set of Support for Personalized Learning (SPL) to specifically address

the quality of the interactions that have been found through research to most

directly move individual learners from where they are to where they need to be. This challenge of personalizing

learning requires individuals at every level of our educational system to

invest in adjusting practices to more efficiently and effectively align with the real demands of our rapidly changing

world; including acknowledging that education, today, must extend beyond

acquisition and expression of infor-mation to the development of disposi-

tions and capacities necessary for managing one’s own lifelong learning. These goals led the SPI design team, with representation from all RESAs, to develop twenty one hours of professional learning experiences to support teachers in acquiring expertise

that is relevant to their needs and the needs of ALL their students.

The SPI model incorporates and articulates the interaction of the following elements:

4 researched-based instructional practices: Universal Design for Learning

(UDL), Differentiated Instruction (DI), Scaffolding and Cognitive Strategies In-

struction (CSI)

2 content elements –NxG Standards and instructional focus points

5 processes – integrated technology, integrated vocabulary, problem-solving,

professional collaboration and informative assessment processes.

This summer's academy heavily focused upon UDL, DI, Informative Assessment and

becoming a reflective teacher. The remaining areas will continue to be the

focus of professional development opportunities in the near future.

RESA 4 TEACHERS PARTICIPATE IN SPI ACADEMY

Many thanks to Beverly Kingery, Superintendent, and Barb Taylor, Board representative, both retiring from Nicholas County Board of Education, after many years of dedicated service.

Best wishes in your new endeavors!

RESA 4 Educators Celebrate a Summer of Professional Learning

Teachers and instructional coaches gathered at the Summersville Convention Center to

experience cooperative and collaborative learning strategies shared by John Strebe.

Ansted Elementary teachers spent an additional week at their school to strengthen implementation of Next

Generation Mathematics Content Standards and Objectives. Teachers worked at their grade level and

across grade levels to deepen their understanding of the mathematics content, Standards for Mathematical

Practice, and learning progressions. Instructional strategies were modeled throughout the training.

Project WEEMS teachers continued their journey toward earning an elementary mathematics

specialization endorsement. Online and face-to-face instruction occurred throughout

the summer. The cadre will continue coursework during the fall and spring semesters.

Middle level mathematics and science teachers from RESA 1 and RESA 4 experienced learning

tasks designed to integrate mathematics and science.

Marlinton Middle faculty worked together to plan and practice strategies designed to increase

student engagement.

Glade Elementary and Webster Springs Elementary spent a day at Camp Caesar engaged in

teambuilding activities.

RESA 4 Receives Two New 21stCCLC Afterschool Program Grants

On July 16, 2014, the WVDE announced that RESA 4

would receive two grants to provide 21st Century Com-munity Learning Center afterschool programs in three

elementary and four high schools. One $220,000 grant, called BLAST (Building Learning After School Hours),

will be used to provide academic tutoring and enrich-

ment, homework help, positive youth behavior/healthy lifestyles courses, counseling, and visual and perform-

ing arts instruction at Flatwoods Elementary School (Braxton County), Ansted Elementary School (Fayette),

and White Sulphur Elementary School (Greenbrier).

The programs will run four days per week for 25 weeks beginning September 29, 2014.

The second grant, also for $220,000, is called SUCCESS

(Schools Utilizing College and Career Education for Stu-

dent Success). It will also provide academic tutoring and enrichment, homework help, positive youth behav-

ior/healthy lifestyles programs, counseling, visual and performing arts instruction, and opportunities for voca-

tional education. Schools being served by the SUCCESS grant are Braxton County High School (Braxton), Valley

High School (Fayette), Nicholas County High School

(Nicholas), and Webster County High School (Webster). The SUCCESS grant will run three days per week for 25

weeks beginning September 29, 2014.

RESA 4 currently has two additional 21stCCLC After-

school Program grants that will be continued this year.

The SPLASH (Supporting Personalized Learning After-

School Hours) grant will begin its second year at Braxton Middle School (Braxton), Richwood Middle School

(Nicholas), Marlinton Middle School (Pocahontas), and Webster County High School 7th and 8th grade

(Webster). The FAST (Fayette AfterSchool Time) grant

will begin its fourth year. The three sites in this grant are Ansted Middle School, Collins Middle School and Oak

Hill High School, all in Fayette

I hope all has been well for everyone over the past few months. It is hard to believe that schools are back in session for the fall. It has been very busy for

all of our six counties as participants attended vari-ous Professional Development trainings which in-

cluded Math Academies, Support for Personalized Instruction (S.P.I.), Co-Teaching, and Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (P.B.I.S.) over

the summer months. It is the desire of RESA 4 that the participants and their respective schools and

students benefit from the valuable experiences that came from the Professional Development and the various Academies.

The focus of the Special Education Department at

RESA 4 for the 2014-15 school year will be “Results Driven Accountability.” The Crisis Prevention Inter-vention (C.P.I.) trainings will continue at RESA 4

with the first one scheduled to take place on September 15th here in our conference room. The

Special Education Department at RESA 4 hopes everyone’s school year gets off to a great start.

WVEIS – Back to School Edition

Welcome to the 2014-2015 school year! Here are some notes from Karen & Nicole as we start the new school year:

DROPPING STUDENTS AS OF THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

To drop a student as of the first day of school (i.e. student moved over summer), STU.301T is used a little differ-

ently than usual. In WOW, follow the procedures below for students that did not return to your school in FY 15.

In STU.301T (WOW), enter the student ID and select DROP.

Change the ‘AS OF DATE’ to your school’s first day of student attendance. Do not use the 2nd day of stu-

dent attendance. This falsely reports in WVEIS that the student was present at your school on the first day.

Select NEXT.

Under Enrollment History, you must edit the first line of data and delete all of the data in the 2nd line. Manu-

ally change the ENROLLMENT CODE from E8 to the corresponding Transfer Code (i.e. T1, T2, T3). You

will not be able to use the hand selector in this procedure as it will only show enrollment codes, not transfer/

drop codes. Edit the COMMENT field as needed. Delete any data located in the LOAD field.

Delete any and all data defaulted in the fields on the 2nd line. This includes the DATE, REGISTER, COM-

MENT, LOAD, SCHOOL & DISTRICT fields. Select NEXT.

Warning: This transaction data is not typically left blank – will appear at the top and 2nd line fields will appear

in yellow. Simply select NEXT again to bypass this warning.

Advance through the subsequent screens by selecting NEXT after entering any necessary data.

Select FINISH to successfully complete the transfer.

The process for dropping students as of the 1st day of school in Green Screen is very similar. Simply change

the E8 Enrollment Code to the corresponding Transfer Code on the first line of the Registration Screen, while

leaving the DATE and REGISTER as is. Edit the COMMENT field as needed. Delete any data in the LOAD

field, while leaving the SCHOOL & DISTRICT fields as is. Delete ALL data defaulted n the fields on the 2nd line.

This includes the DATE, REGISTER, COMMENT, LOAD, SCHOOL & DISTRICT fields.

WVEIS SUPPORT PAGE

The WVEIS Support Page can be found online at http://wveis.k12.wv.us/wveis2004/support.htm. It is dedicated

to providing useful PDFs & documentation on the Student Management, Attendance, Grading & Scheduling

Systems in WVEIS. The 2014-2015 Course Code Manual can be found here, along with the TeamViewer

download link for remote support. While we don’t want you to ever stop calling us, there are many helpful docu-

ments and links that can be found on this site that could help you if you are unable to reach us.

VPN REQUESTS

VPN (Virtual Private Network) connections are provided to WVEIS users who are administrators and teachers and

need access to WVEIS or applications restricted to the K-12 network. These connections allow access to the se-

cure state network from a location outside of the network (such as from home).

Most counties allow their employees to request VPN accounts online at https://wveis.k12.wv.us/vpn/. If your coun-

ty does not participate in the online VPN request process, simply contact your WVEIS County Contact directly.

Contact your county technology department for technical questions about VPN connection.

DATA COLLECTION DATES FOR FY 2014-2015 SCHOOL YEAR

The September 1 Collection (formerly the 1st Month Report) will be due on September 8, 2014. This is to be sub-

mitted by the County Superintendent. Reported data will be as of September 1. All Summer Graduates need to

be included in this data.

All date collection dates and certification instructions for FY 2014-2015 can be found online at http://

wveis.k12.wv.us/wveis2004/calendar.htm. These dates will be constant year after year, but may shift slightly to

account for Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays when a submission is required.

Please do not hesitate to call us if you need assistance of any kind. We are here to serve and if we cannot an-

swer your question, we will help you find the person who can!

With the coming changes of the season as we start to transition into the beautiful fall scenery, Medicaid is also experiencing some new changes. We recently had our Medicaid meeting in July. One item for discussion was that Molina is doing away with span billing services. In order

to bill, we must submit our services as a daily billing date. In addition, we are only able to bill for Specialized Transportation services when another Medicaid service has occurred on the same day. We have been given four new speech codes that we are now able to bill for, and a nice reimbursement rate to go along with them. I am sure there will be more changes to come as the school year goes on, and I would like to thank all my counties for their help and un-derstanding, and to wish them a great new school year.

RESA 4 Substitute Teacher Training Program

The RESA 4 Substitute Teacher Training Program pro-vides the opportunity for our counties to have qualified substitute teachers in their schools. Participants in the program are first recommended by a county. They then receive ten hours of online training which is fol-lowed by two hours of face-to-face training and an as-sessment. Those who successfully complete the twelve hours of instruction and assessment have their paperwork submitted to the WVDE to get their official certification as a substitute teacher. In the past few months, about 30 substitute teachers have earned their certification through the RESA 4 program. If you have any questions about the RESA 4 Substitute Teacher Training program, please feel free to contact Sherri Sparks-Francisco at 304-872-6440, ext. 10 (ssparks@k12.wv.us) or Dana Thomas at 304-872-6440, ext. 27 (dethomas@k12.wv.us) for more infor-mation.

All adults should avoid inactivity. Some physi-

cal activity is better than none, and adults who

participate in any amount of physical activity

gain some health benefits. For substantial

health benefits, adults should do at least 150

minutes (2 hours and 30 minutes) a week of

moderate-intensity, or 75 minutes (1 hour and

15 minutes) a week of vigorous-intensity aero-

bic physical activity, or an equivalent combina-

tion of moderate- and vigorous intensity aero-

bic activity. Aerobic activity should be per-

formed in episodes of at least 10 minutes, and

preferably, it should be spread throughout the

week. For additional and more extensive health

benefits, adults should increase their aerobic

physical activity to 300 minutes (5 hours) a

week of moderate intensity, or 150 minutes a

week of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical ac-

tivity, or an equivalent combination of moder-

ate- and vigorous-intensity activity. Additional

health benefits are gained by engaging in

physical activity beyond this amount. Adults

should also do muscle-strengthening activities

that are moderate or high intensity and involve

all major muscle groups on 2 or more days a

week, as these activities provide additional

health benefits.

When older adults cannot do 150 minutes of

moderate-intensity aerobic activity a week be-

cause of chronic conditions, they should be as

physically active as their abilities and condi-

tions allow. Older adults should do exercises

that maintain or improve balance if they are at

risk of falling. Older adults should determine

their level of effort for physical activity relative

to their level of fitness. Older adults with

chronic conditions should understand whether

and how their conditions affect their ability to

do regular physical activity safely.

With physical activity included in daily routines,

people will realize how important it is, and

what a difference it does make. It will help this

school year to pass more smoothly.

WISHING YOU A PHYSICALLY

ACTIVE SCHOOL YEAR.

Falling into Fitness

Summer is a time to relax for parents and children,

and routines go out the window. Now that Fall is

around the corner, and school is back in session; it

is time to get back into normal routines. As parents,

administers, and teachers we need to set good ex-

amples for our children, students, and all youth to

follow. Most people are unaware of the amount of

physical activity we should do. According to the

2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans

Summary:

Children and adolescents should do 60 minutes (1

hour) or more of physical activity daily. It is im-

portant to encourage young people to participate in

physical activities that are appropriate for their age,

that are enjoyable, and that offer variety. Most of

the 60 or more minutes a day should be either mod-

erate-or-vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity,

and should include vigorous-intensity physical activ-

ity at least 3 days a week. Children and adolescents

should include muscle-strengthening physical activi-

ty, and bone-strengthening on at least 3 days of the

week.
